Towards Natural Language Processing (NLP) based tool design for technical debt reduction on an agile project

Abstract

This work presents the first approach towards a design of a tool to support agile projects documentation process based on Natural Language Processing (NLP). It is presented a proposed design of a tool as a result of the analysis of the NLP potential to improve agile project documentation processes. The tool has three different approaches: text-diagram, code-diagram, and a full version, which includes the above approaches being text-code-diagram. Finally, the potential advantages and disadvantages of each approach are discussed. In addition, we present the following steps on the future work towards the development of a tool from the proposed design.
